Single Sign-On: A Tale of Two Sides

Description

Like any double-edged sword, SSO has its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, SSO enhances security by reducing the number of passwords to manage. It also streamlines user access, boosting productivity. On the flip side, SSO may introduce a single point of failure, meaning if one system goes down, so does access to all others. Additionally, SSO implementation can be complex and costly. Our experts discuss the pros and cons of SSO, the benefits to leveraging SSO properly, and how to implement SSO effectively.
